Jammu, Feb 17 (UNI) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today said the ''pro-people'' political and developmental initiatives pioneered by her party have entirely transformed the ground scenario in Jammu and Kashmir forcing the exploitative politicians to run for cover.

Addressing a public meeting at Nagrota this afternoon, Ms Mufti said, ''the politicians who have all along been banking on dubious means for their survival are unnerved by this new political realization and their frustration is now vivid.

''While on the one hand National Conference Patron Dr Farooq Abdullah is trying to upstage his son from the State's political scene, on the other hand he is desperately trying to shift the blame on others for the tragedies that have befallen the State mostly due to NC's wrongdoing,'' she alleged.

Referring to the latest accusations of Dr Abdullah against Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and the PDP, Ms Mufti said, ''people are the best judges and they have already dumped and written-off Dr Abdullah as one of the misfortunes that was foisted on the State only to push it into the most tragic era of death and destruction.

''Ironically, out of frustration, the NC leaders are now desperately trying to politicize the tragic assassination of Mirwaiz Moulvi Mohammad Farooq for electoral gains,'' she said.

The PDP President said the worst-ever electoral rigging engineered by the NC in 1987 elections is still haunting its leaders and foreseeing the party's dwindling political fate.

The NC leaders have now started seeing in PDP the reincarnation of the erstwhile Muslim United Front (MUF), she added.
